What has Music & Guitar got to do with Plants? Many experiments conducted over the years have shown that Music has a positive effect on plants. In ep23 of Mythbusters, the results show that plants (peapods) that were exposed to sounds (Talking / Music) grow bigger than the control plants which were not exposed to any sounds.
Thus, introducing GuitAir Plantation. A Self-Sustaining Air plant Ecosystem with Music. An eco-sytem of Air plants that exists in harmony and self sustained by automated music, lights and moisture. The automatic music and lights spur the plants growth while the auto humidifier waters the air plants. As for the Guitar, it symbolizes the everlasting image of Music while its shape provides an efficient space for holding medium sized plants and its neck ideal for creeper or hanging plants. Air plants are chosen as it is low maintenance as compared to other plants.
So the Question is, which type of music is best for plants? From the experiments, In general, all plants react well to music, however, some plants react better to classical music, while some react better to heavier rock or heavy metal music. In the Mythbusters episode, the plants that were exposed to Rock/Heavy metal music grows the biggest. and in some other experiments, it was found that creeper plants like money plants too like Rock music. For my Air plants? Well, they are not too fussy as they generally grow well with any type of music that i play, from Leo Rojas to Led Zepellin to even Metallica. Although the sample sizes for these experiments are not huge, it is highly plausible that these plants react well to certain types of music.
The music is scheduled and plays automatically at the time you set them via Alexa Routines, through Amazon music or Spotify. This lets the plants enjoy the music daily while spurring their growth. At the same time, it also serves as a source of entertainment for the users. A duration of 1hr is set, which is reasonable as some experiments indicate excessive music however might have a negative effect. Music can also be played via Alexa Voice command to choose any song that you want at any time. Check out Spinyl Vinyl
Waterproof 5050 led strips are used not only for effects but as studies show led strip lights do also assist in plant growth, thus adding to the Growth Eco-system. The led strips are also automated as it will light up whenever the Music is being played.
Lastly, there is also a self watering system using smart auto humidifiers (Check out Air Plantation Video) which reduces the need for regular water sprays to the air plants. With all the Automation and self sustaining eco system, the product is very low in maintenance and the only thing that needs to be done is to water the plants.
An upcycled product, for the materials, it is made of pinewood with a detachable top via magnets. the body has 3 layers of slots of air plant holder which is sufficient to put about 9 medium sized Air plants.The neck of the Guitar Air plants is ideal to put creeper or hanging plants like money plants or Spanish moss.
